HOLMDEL, N.J., June 26, 2017 – The Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund recently received a check in the amount of $1,500 from Circle BMW in Eatontown. Every year prior to Memorial Day, Circle BMW selects a local military-related organization and contributes an amount based on car sales during the holiday weekend. Circle BMW selected the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund as its 2017 Memorial Day Honoree.

“We are grateful for Circle BMW and Tom DeFelice’s generosity to support our mission to provide support to our servicemen/women who have served our country for more than 15 years for the war on terrorism,” said Marion Zilinski, co-founder of the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund.

Circle BMW President Tom DeFelice said, “Like many military families who have lost a loved one, the Zilinskis have turned their tragedy into helping active military personnel, as well as wounded soldiers upon their return home, by shipping needed items to troops overseas, furnishing prosthetics and service dogs to veterans and so much more. The Zilinskis have worked tirelessly to positively impact so many deserving people and we at Circle BMW applaud them.”

DeFelice added, “We are pleased to make this donation in honor of Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II and wish to thank his parents, Dennis and Marion, for keeping their son’s spirit alive and supporting our military.”
